Smith and director Marc Foster (World War Z) acquired Telepool in June 2018 and the company has now signed an agreement with Westbrook to develop feature films, TV programmes and digital entertainment formats.

Telepool is among the most established independent film and TV distributors in the German market, with more than 50 years of operating history.

Westbrook is the newly created multimedia conglomerate built to champion, develop and realise the global content ambitions of the Smith family.

The development agreement is being initiated with three premium film and TV projects that will cover the action, thriller and global sports categories, which will be among the first projects Westbrook will be bring to market.

Telepool CEO André Druskeit said: “With this agreement, Westbrook Inc and Telepool are now jointly developing feature films, TV projects and new entertainment formats. We believe that having preferential access to this kind of premium content and the close relationship we have with our shareholders gives us a unique position in the German and international market.”
